fifty + one

Just finished The Memory Keeper's Daughter yesterday.

From the first sentence I was captivated by the writing in this book. It's an amazing story by a truly gifted author. however, it's also an incredibly sad story. So much so that I kept putting the book down swearing I wasn't going to read any more of it. I'm the kind of person that will sink into a deep depression if I read the wrong story. This was a wrong story.

Even so the story telling was so powerful I kept picking up the book and reading more.

Definitely worth a read. Just make sure you have LOTS of kleenex and chocolate on hand when you do pick it up!
